LKA (Lane-Keeping Assist)
: If equipped
While driving on a freeway or motor highway that has lane markers
and no sharp curves, the system recognizes the lanes using a cam-
era located above the inside rear view mirror as a sensor to assist
the driver with staying in the lane. The LKA system has two func-
tions.

When driving
■No-handed driving warning
If the steering wheel is not operated for approximately 15 seconds on a
straight road or approximately 5 seconds on a curve, the buzzer will beep
twice, indicators on the multi-information display will flash, and the lane
keeping assist function will be temporarily canceled. If you drive the vehicle
with your hands lightly touching the steering wheel, this may also be
detected as no-handed driving.
■ After the vehicle has been parked in the sun
The LKA system functions may not be available and a warning message
(P. 520) will be displayed for a while after driving has started. In such
cases, turn the LKA system off and turn it on again after normal temperature
returns. When the temperature in the cabin decreases and the temperature
around the camera sensor ( P. 289) becomes suitable for its operation, the
functions will begin to operate.
■ If there are lane markers on only one side of the vehicle
The lane keeping assist function will not operate. Also, the lane departure
warning will not operate for the side on which lane markers could not be rec-
ognized.
■ Conditions in which the function may not operate correctly
In the following conditions, the LKA system functions may not operate, or it
may not be possible to ensure adequate performance. Also, the camera
sensor may be unable to recognize lane lines causing the lane departure
warning function to operate incorrectly, or the lane keeping assist function
may not operate properly. However, this does not indicate a malfunction.
●When driving through an area with no lane markers, such as a tollbooth,
a crossing or before a ticket checkpoint
● When driving on a sharp curve
● When lanes are extremely narrow or extremely wide
● When the vehicle leans to one side an unusual amount due to a heavy
load or improper tire inflation pressure
● When the following distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead
is extremely short

●When the lane markers are yellow (These may be more difficult for the
system to recognize compared to white markers.)
● When the lane markers are broken, “Botts’ dots”, “Raised pavement
marker” or stones
● When lane markers are obscured or partially obscured by sand, dirt, etc.
● When there are shadows on the road running parallel with lane markers,
or if a shadow covers the lane markers
● When driving on a particularly bright road surface, such as concrete
● When driving on a road surface that is bright due to reflected light
● When driving in a location where the light level changes rapidly, such as
the entrance to or exit from a tunnel
● When sunlight or the headlights of oncoming vehicles are shining directly
into the camera lens
● When driving on roads that are branching or merging
● When driving on a road surface that is wet due to rain, previous rainfall,
standing water, etc.
● When the vehicle experiences strong up-and-down motion such as when
driving on an extremely rough road or on a seam in the pavement
● When headlight brightness at nighttime is reduced due to dirt on the
lenses, or when the headlights are misaligned
● When driving with a strong crosswind
● When driving on winding roads or roads that are uneven
● When driving on rough or unpaved roads
■ When changing the tires
Depending on the tires used, sufficient performance may not be maintain-
able.
■ Warning messages for LKA
Warning messages are used to indicate a system malfunction or to inform
the driver of the need for caution while driving. (P. 516, 520)

NOTICE
■To prevent damage to or incorr ect operation of the LKA system
● Do not modify the headlights or attach stickers to the surface of the lights.
● Do not modify the suspension or sun visor, or replace them with non-genu-
ine parts.
● Do not install or place anything on the hood or the grille. Also, do not install
a grille guard (bull bars, kangaroo bar etc.).
● Do not modify the sun visor or replace it with anything other than a genu-
ine Toyota product.
● If your windshield needs repairs, contact your Toyota dealer.
■ Camera sensor (P. 289)
Observe the following to ensure that the LKA system functions correctly.
●Keep the windshield clean at all times.
Performance could be affected if the windshield is dirty, or if raindrops,
condensation or ice are adhering to the windshield.
● When adjusting the rear view mirror, make sure that it does not block the
camera lens.
● Do not attach window tinting to the windshield.
● Do not install an antenna in front of the camera lens.
● If the windshield is fogged up, use the windshield defogger to remove fog
from the windshield.
When it is cold, using the heater with air blowing to the feet may allow the
upper part of the windshield to fog up. This will have a negative effect on
the images.
●Do not attach a sticker or other items to
the windshield near the camera sensor.
● Do not install or place anything near the
camera.

Maintenance and care
NOTICE
■
Cleaning detergents
●Do not use the following types of detergent, as they may discolor the vehi-
cle interior or cause streaks or damage to painted surfaces:
• Non-seat portions: Organic substances such as benzene or gasoline,
alkaline or acidic solutions, dye, and bleach
• Seats: Alkaline or acidic solutions, such as thinner, benzene, and alcohol
● Do not use polish wax or polish cleaner. The instrument panel’s or other
interior part’s painted surface may be damaged.
■ Preventing damage to leather surfaces
Observe the following precautions to avoid damage to and deterioration o\
f
leather surfaces:
●Remove any dust or dirt from leather surfaces immediately.
● Do not expose the vehicle to direct sunlight for extended periods of time.
Park the vehicle in the shade, especially during summer.
● Do not place items made of vinyl, plastic, or containing wax on the uphol-
stery, as they may stick to the leather surface if the vehicle interior heats
up significantly.
■ Water on the floor
Do not wash the vehicle floor with water.
Vehicle systems such as the audio system may be damaged if water comes
into contact with electrical components such as the audio system above or
under the floor of the vehicle. Water may also cause the body to rust.
■ When cleaning the inside of the wi ndshield (vehicles with LKA [Lane-
Keeping Assist])
Be careful not to touch the camera sensor ( P. 289).
If the camera is accidentally scratched or hit, LKA may not operate properly
or may cause a malfunction.
■ Cleaning the inside of the rear window
●Do not use glass cleaner to clean the rear window, as this may cause
damage to the rear window defogger heater wires. Use a cloth dampened
with lukewarm water to gently wipe the window clean. Wipe the window in
strokes running parallel to the heater wires.
● Be careful not to scratch or damage the heater wires.
